The Emerald Forest

We now see an overhead view of Emerald Forest. A forest filled with natural wildlife where you can hear the natural sounds of birds chirping, squirrels chattering, leaves rustling, guns blazing… well, if you can call that last one natural.

We see the giant Nevermore as it flaps its wings, shooting razor sharp feathers at the already skewered trees where Toby and Simon are hiding behind one each.

"I hope there's an easier way to kill this pigeon!" yelled Toby.

"None that I'm aware of!" replied Simon.

"Think you can bring it down?"

"With our weapons, I don't think it's–"

"Not that, I mean as bait!" he clarifies as his irises turn red, activating his semblance as he charges both his arms.

"Oh yeah," Simon said in understanding, "That's my specialty."

With that, Simon runs out from behind the tree into the clearing and calls out, "Hey, Tweety! You want me?! Come and get me!"

As if the Grimm could hear him, narrowing its eyes, it swoops down with talons ready.

Just as it's about to reach him, Simon activates Ghosting, allowing him to phase through the surprised giant bird at the same time Toby jumps on its back.

With a roar, he slams his palms on its back, discharging millions of volts on the Grimm as it screeches in pain while thrashing about, successfully throwing him off its back a few feet away only for Simon to catch him.

With its feathers already smoking from its latest assault, the Nevermore retreats into the sky.

"Yeah, you better run!" yells Simon who frowns at his sentence, "... or fly! Away! Whichever works!"

"I think we've already wasted time," said Toby as he got down, "We ought to pick up the pace."

As they begin walking, Simon starts singing 'Everything is awesome.'

"What are you doing?" Toby asks with disbelief.

"Singing, you know, just to kill time rather than just walk in the woods in dead silence.

Toby exhales, "Fine. But don't do anything annoying."

The ghost holds up his hands in defeat, "Okay, no need to be so grumpy."

They then continue trudging through the forest.

In another part of the forest, Yang is seen walking and looking around.

"Helloooooooo?" she calls out, not seeing a shadow quickly pass by, "Is anyone out there? Helloooo?" she stops and raises her arms, "I'm getting bored here!"

She then hears a rustling in the bushes behind her and turns, "Is someone there?"

The rustling continues as Yang comes over and peaks inside, "Ruby, is that you?"

A low, inhuman growl is heard, and Yang's head rises up as she stares at the creature.

"Nope."

Yang quickly rolls to the side as a Grimm resembling a bear known as an Ursa charges out of the green. She gets up and activates her Ember Celica, staring at the monster before another Ursa runs out behind her. She leaps over it, and its companion runs at her again, only to get knocked back by a fiery punch. The other Ursa and Yang charge at each other, and Yang manages to get under it and deliver several punches and a kick to send the creature back.

"You guys wouldn't happen to have seen a girl in a red hood, would you?" Yang asks, with the response being a mere growl from the Ursa, "You could just say 'no'."
